As Featured in Capital Eats: Ottawa's Destination for Seafood

Capital Eats review “For seafood, Pelican is your destination”, with seared salmon on beet purée and the quote “…it was better than anything I’d had in 12 years in Vancouver.”

We're proud to be recognized by Capital Eats as one of Ottawa's standout dining experiences.

Critic Ralf Joneikies recently visited us and put it plainly: there isn't anything quite like Pelican in Ottawa's dining scene. From our house-seasoned Bloody Caesar and fresh Whitefish & Shrimp Ceviche to the Blacks Harbour Salmon - with its beet purée, citrus crème fraîche, and pickled fennel - the review captures what our team works hard to deliver every day: elevated seafood with attentive, thoughtful service.

The piece also touches on something we're genuinely proud of: the commitment to detail that goes beyond the plate. Our team goes out of their way, every service, to make each visit feel worth it.
